Prezto

Prezto. 12.5k GitHub stars. Here's the first serious fork. It began as an extremely talented programmer forking it and spending 1 whole year cleaning up Oh My Zsh's code, fixing performance issues and bugs, cleaning up the code organization and making everything a lot better. Unfortunately, Oh My Zsh's author felt like the changes made it "no longer his code", so he didn't merge it. Prezto then became its own separate project. Most of its code is rewritten and cleaned up compared to Oh My Zsh. And it has a several skilled, active maintainers.

Oh My Zsh

Oh My Zsh. 138k GitHub stars. This is the "Grand daddy" project. It's old, bloated, known for being slow, it's very poorly organized, the code is messy (most of its code issues are summed up well here), and its author wasn't interested in cleaning up the code. But many people still love it. It's by far the most popular. Perhaps due to its name recognition and community inertia.
